Reverse commerce – buy instead of sell?

    I have a client with a business that buys a specific product from consumers. I want to build a WP site with WooCommerce but can’t figure out if it is possible to reverse the process whereby the site visitor selects their specific product(s) and then initiates an action (sell instead of buy) which processes a PayPal payment from the ‘store’ owner’s account to the site visitor (seller). Any insight on this would be much appreciated. Thanks.

  • Howdy ??

    WooCommerce isn’t well-suited to this at all and to achieve it would require a great deal of customization, so much so that it would probably make more sense to just build something from scratch. You could certainly have a look at the WooCommerce code as an example of how to send requests to PayPal.

    Kind regards,

    Thanks so much for the reply. I figures as much, but great to get the confirmation.
